8) Take DAILY action to build humanity, dignity, and justice where you live. Democracy won’t save itself. We will. #ActNow #FightFascism #Organize ________________________________________

7) Build real relationships in your community. Listen. Show up. Rebuild trust.

6) Hold your elected leaders to account. National. State. Local. No more passivity. No more excuses.

5) Focus on the disengaged. The disillusioned. The unheard and unseen. The ones who feel politics doesn’t serve them—because too often, it hasn’t.

4) These are not the people who will save democracy. Stop chasing them. Stop trying to “win them back.”

3) They don’t care about income inequality. They care about hierarchy. Power. Supremacy. That’s what drives them.

2) They believe white skin makes them superior. They believe men should dominate. They want a dictator—someone to enforce control, not democracy.

1) This is who they are. Stop pretending otherwise. Stop making excuses for people who knew exactly what they were voting for: fascism.

7) But it starts with us—paying attention, speaking up, and supporting those who are brave enough to do politics differently. We have to let go of the need for a superhero. “We the People” are the superheroes. Change won’t come from the top down. It starts with us.

6) We deserve leadership that listens, that leads with integrity, not with money, and who aren’t afraid to break from the script.

5) This isn’t just a Republican problem or a Democratic one; Independents do it, too. It’s a system problem. The question is—what are we, the people, going to do to change this?

4) I’m sorry this has happened to them. No one should be erased or cast out for having the courage to think independently, to stand on principle, to truly represent their constituents, or to refuse blind obedience to party lines.

3) In Montana, the GOP is disowning nine of its own senators for daring to push back, to think independently, to speak up. This is what happens when loyalty to a party becomes more important than loyalty to people. When dissent is treated like betrayal, and nuance is punished.

2) The Democratic Party’s strategy is silence. Erasure. You're not worth the acknowledgment. Not worth the fight. Not worth being seen. But make no mistake—BOTH parties do this.

1) Don’t be fooled—the Democratic Party plays this game too. They may not use the same blunt language or overt actions, but their message is just as clear: you don’t exist. www.ktvq.com/news/montana...

9/ You have the platform. You have the power. Use it to lead — or make room for those who will.

8/ The silence is deafening. And it’s dangerous. Project 2025 is terrifying. But a Democratic Party with no clear direction? That’s just as frightening.

Penny Ronning @pennyronning.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

7/ And we need to see Democrats on every ballot — in every race. From school boards to state legislatures, voters deserve a choice. Stop conceding ground before the fight even begins.

Penny Ronning @pennyronning.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

6/ We need a vision for protecting democracy. We need a strategy that uplifts the working class. We need leadership that shows up before the crisis hits.

Penny Ronning @pennyronning.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

5/ Democratic superstars are not a plan. We don’t need another idol to cheer for. We need a party that stands for something — clearly, loudly, and consistently.

Penny Ronning @pennyronning.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

4/ Do you really think voters will run to the polls just because a candidate isn’t a Republican? That’s not a message. That’s not a movement.

Penny Ronning @pennyronning.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

3/ Where is your national strategy? Where is your long-term vision for America? Working people are desperate for answers — not just attacks on the other side.

Penny Ronning @pennyronning.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

2/ Americans see what Republicans are doing. We know what Project 2025 is — a dystopian blueprint for authoritarian rule. Outrage and fear are how Republicans organize. Is that your plan too? Americans and the world deserve better from BOTH parties.

1/ Dear @DNC + state party leaders — Calling out GOP fascism is not a strategy. It’s a reaction. And it’s not enough.

Trump praises Putin, Orban, and Kim Jong Un. Leaders who believe in democracy don’t admire tyrants.

When we don’t show up, we leave entire communities without a choice. That's not fighting for democracy. The Democratic Party must fight for and support democracy in EVERY race on the ballot. No race should be left behind.
